If you want to make JOKER perform at peak performance in AFK Arena, you need to run the right built. While many players think simply maxing out will do the trick (well, not too wrong), there are certain sweetspots with JOKER that will give a big boost so I have some recommendations below that you will very likely find interesting.
Important! If you want to check how well JOKER does in the current meta of all heroes in AFK Arena, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here.
JOKER’s Signature Item
Furniture Recommendation
Engraving
Right now the use-cases for JOKER don’t justify investing in Engravings, not even if you’re spending money on the game or using JOKER. There are simply better ways to invest. Please refer to the priority list o Engravings in AFK Arena here.
Recommended Artifacts & Collection
If you are not that progressed in AFK Arena and don’t have access to the collections from the Goulish Gallery, Here are the artifacts that you can possible run with JOKER. Please keep in mind that collections are the future so you will need to build them and use them sooner or later to progress to the later content in the game. This is more for earlier players or backups if you can’t use the recommended collection!

How to unlock
Now that artifacts got replaced by the collections in the Ghoulish Gallery, this whole section requires a lot more effort in building the correct collection type with the ideal substats – this lets you fine-tune heroes a lot better but also requires more details in order to work well.
Right now there is not much reason to build a collection item for JOKER in the Goulish Gallery. I might add the setup when it is time but right now there are so many other heroes that require that and JOKER is not really one of them at this point. Stick to the artifact and you will be alright unless you are top 1% of all the players, so to speak.
Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you to build your JOKER correctly without wasting resources but also to make sure to get the best performance of the hero.
